We, the family wish to announce the peaceful passing of our husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Stanley E. Dean, on Thursday, August 12, 2021, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, palliative care unit, after a short but courageous battle with cancer.
Stan is survived by the love of his life, and wife of 55 years, Frances; children, Ann (Dave), Blair (Joanne) and Kevin (Diane); grandchildren, David, Noelle, Cory, Matthew, Sean and great-grandchildren, Sophia and Amelia. He is also survived by his nephews, Brian (Doris) and their daughters, Charmaine and Kimberly, and Brent (Peggy); sister-in-law, Jean and her daughters, Louise and Lynn, and brothers- in-law, Wayne and Danny (Joanne) and their daughters, Kelly and Nicole.
Stan was predeceased by his father, Howard in 1965; brother, Howard Jr. in 1989 and his mother, Harriet in 2013.
Stan worked at the Cape Breton Post for 42 years as a pressman, retiring in 2005. He enjoyed playing darts in the leagues at the Sydney Pensioners Club. But above all, Stan was a family man and he loved everyone in it. He will be missed by all who knew him.
On behalf of the family, we wish to extend special thanks to Dr. A. Mahmoud-Ahmed, Dr. J. Ritter, Dr. Ann Frances D’Intino, Dr. Glenn Worth, and Debbie Glabay from Spiritual Care; as well we would like to thank the incredible staff at the Cape Breton Cancer Center, VON and Palliative care for care given to Stan during his time of need.
